Valley View I.S.D. has implemented the Raptor Visitor Management System that will go into effect starting Wednesday, August 30, 2017. Raptor is capable of replacing manual paper-based logs and visitor passes. It will allow Valley View Elementary to produce visitor badges, monitor volunteer hours, and electronically check all visitors against registered sexual offender databases. The overall goal is to better control access to all schools; thus providing enhanced protection for our students and staff.

General Procedures

All school visitors will be scanned into the Raptor System using a valid government or state issued photo ID (U.S. or Mexican).

Valley View Elementary will use the Raptor System during regular school hours on all days the school is open.

When the visitor arrives, he/she will be greeted and asked for their valid photo ID (government or state issued photo ID (U.S. or Mexican).

The designated staff member will scan the visitor’s ID and issue a badge if there is no alert indicated on the data base. The visitor’s ID will be returned to the visitor once it is scanned and badge is printed.

Upon leaving the school, the visitor must return to the office and return the badge to check-out. All school badges that are issued to visitors will be destroyed as soon as they are returned to the office.

If the visitor does not have an acceptable photo ID available, the visitor will not be allowed to enter the school.
